Title: Post your Config, and ways to optimize OA?
Post by: defcon on January 10, 2009, 09:57:34 AM
I know allot of ppl got some elite configs, here is mine based off of JessicaRA's.

I would like to optimize my fps, and would like some input, here are my system specs:
Pentium 4 Hyperthreaded 3.0ghz 2 gig ram, GeForce FX 5500 256 RAM Running OA within Ubuntu 8.10 with latest nvidia drivers, any config suggestions?
Logitech G7 Wireless Gaming Mouse, Just got this mouse, any suggested settings?

Some of the issues I am having is low fps in maps like oasago2 when allot of ppl are playing, I get fps around 21 which is almost impossible to aim at ppl strafe jumping.

I know  ppl that play OA/Q3 got worst systems than I do and get better fps, so what can I do to optimize it and have a half decent look?

I also have seen ppl switching weapons super fast, especially this one dude wSs)(foad 1 rail shot then quick switch back to previous weapon?
Here is my config any advanced scripting tips?

you have a $100 processor and a $2 video card. :D

$25 for a card with triple the power of the one you have now...

r_fastsky 1 (so you can see your crosshair on maps with a bright sky)
com_maxfps 125
cl_maxpackets 125

osago is notoriously bad for your fps in places. i get stable 125 dps on all other maps but on osago i have to switch to vertex lighting or my fps starts to drop to 100 in places.

Dont really know your mouse (or even what kind of setup you like.. high or low sens?). But im using a g5, they could be quite similar. I use the mouse accell from setpoint (on low) with the standard windows XP mouse accell disabled via a registry 'hack'. You can find how to do that on google if you wish. Then i use a medium sensitivity on OA: 6.5 atm, but i often lower my sens by .1 so its constantly going down (not long had this mouse so still asjusting). Go for the lowest possible sens you can handle. with a bit of mouseaccell you can go really low and still be able to move and turn quickly shoudl you need to. lower sens wil make you more accurate.

As for weapon switching - If you havent already, you should bind each weapon to a key close to your movement keys or to a spare mouse button. This means you can switch from shotgun straight to rail gun (for example) without having to scroll through all the others which wastes valueble time.

High visibility, gives 125fps on every map for me (including oasago2), enjoy.

Works in windowed mode, will need some tweaking if you wish to play with it in fullscreen probably (r_intensity, r_gamma, r_overbrightbits, r_mapoverbrightbits). You will also probably want to change resolution (r_customwidth, r_customheight).

Wow, is that Aggressor? It almost looks untextured and flat shaded. Impressive.

Might aswell use /r_picmip 6 to 8 same result  works for all maps too ;)
But you know that

I use picmip 8, hence the look... but I have a lot of other settings as well increasing visibility further (e.g. through water) and also increasing fps significantly.

Ah :)
What settings increase fps?
I get 125 max but not steady, id like to improve fps if possible or is it shown in your cfg in this forum?
Tnx for any help.

cl_packetdup 0

What's that do?


Title: Re: Post your Config, and ways to optimize OA?
Post by: RAZ3R on January 12, 2009, 03:48:40 PM
RudyRailer: half my config deals with fps settings, there arn't just 1 or 2 commands - hence I posted pretty much my entier config, try executing it and see if you get fps increase if you want.

Logan: it deals with how many duplicate packets your client can send to the server - if you have a good connection and don't get packet loss at all then set it to 0, but for most people I think 1 is the best setting.

High visibility, gives 125fps on every map for me (including oasago2), enjoy.

Sorry if this is an obvious thing, but how do you totally remove the textures like that?  It's a nice aesthetic.

r_dipstick 8
Try it, and your screen can look like that too!
Personally, I can't stand it... I like full detail, but to each their own!
The beauty of q3 and its clones, is the flexibility, and variety that it offers.

haha, someone changed picmip to dipstick. :D

Looks like a pulchr's map :P

I've always enjoyed minimalism.
Also got impressed by some CPMA/Warsow vids because of that kind of style ; It looks futuristic (so was Another World, even if made with 90's technology) ; enjoyed Wipeout too ;)

My cfg (optimized for performance): http://6r-clan.org/configs/oa.cfg
You might want to set r_simplemipmaps 1 - gives like 5 fps ;p
Then there is r ext compressedtextures 1 but picture becomes really ugly and you notice the jpg compression sorta (i set it at 0).

My cfg (optimized for performance): http://6r-clan.org/configs/oa.cfg

The rocketjump script is funny, but what do you do with the putajump? I know the bind is commented out, you are not using them, just asking...

Its the famous elpajuo rocketjump (rj to forward, not up- must have stable 125 fps or it wont work).

How is it done? I cannot read it from the script.


Title: Re: Post your Config, and ways to optimize OA?
Post by: RAZ3R on January 17, 2009, 12:33:53 PM
It flips your view round 180 degrees, aims down a bit and rj's... it's pretty useless really, you will get much more control aiming by yourself.


Title: Re: Post your Config, and ways to optimize OA?
Post by: menganito on January 17, 2009, 02:59:43 PM
So it's just a RJ except i don't aim exactly at my  feet, but i "tilt" it, to give myself speed?
Better done manually :)

Title: Re: Post your Config, and ways to optimize OA?

best way to optimize:
scrap up some dough to buy a simple geforce or radeon card not of the MX, FX or '000', '200', '500' variety.
A Geforce2 GTS is enough.

r_detailTextures 0 helps alot of fillrate-sucky cards (which apparently every 'serious' gamer HAS TO LIVE WITH???), does a better job than break-all-the-lighting and gimping the game up.

cg_simpleItems 1 is a very good for processors in the 100-400MHz range as well

cg_draw3dIcons 0 benefits Voodoo-based hardware a lot, and Pentiums.

r_primitives 2 speeds the game up on Radeon-based hardware without sacrificing anything.

i haven't done any tests to verify this but i guess it should affect the framerate on slow graphic cards.
pick a model that has a low amount of triangles and then use cg_forcemodel "1" to force all the other players/bots to use the same model as you.

here's a list of triangles used in different models for openarena.
the totals are for the three different level of details used for the model, different LoDs are used depending on how far away the model is.
the total amount in the three columns are the added triangles of the head, upper and lower parts of the characters.
i've added the quake 3 models of anarki and biker for reference.

modelname   total  LoD_1  LoD_2

angelyss    3090   1680   1810
arachna     3510   2670   2080
assassin    1830   1830   1830
ayumi       2325   2325   2325
beret       1800   1800   1800
gargoyle    3130   1820   1060
kyonshi     2530   1920   1180
liz         1900   1900   1900
major       1130   1130   1130
merman      2070   1485   765
penguin     1770   1770   1770
sarge       1530   1070   645
sergei      2565   1910   1440
skelebot    2220   2220   2220
smarine     2550   2550   2550
sorceress   2280   2280   2280
tony        1190   1190   1190

anarki       830   530   300
biker        790   440   280


note: "sarge" is the grism character
note: this is just how i've understood how it works - it may not be the world's most accurate study :D


Title: Re: Post your Config, and ways to optimize OA?
Post by: Cacatoes on January 18, 2009, 07:00:49 AM
How did you get the amount of triangles used ?

Q3 models have really few ...

note: angelyss has more in LoD2 than in LoD1 (! :p)


Title: Re: Post your Config, and ways to optimize OA?
Post by: pulchr on January 18, 2009, 08:45:36 AM
i loaded up the models in maya with the muskoka plugin (http://www.clanfu.org/muskoka/) and added the trianglecount of the different parts (head, lower, upper).

yes, it took some time :P

cacanotes: yes it seems strange that angelyss would have more triangles in LoD2 - so it might be a typo or some bad maths when i added them together :P

I think we should create a config generator or config optimization tutorial on the wiki, it would benefit allot of people with older hardware and make the game more playable for more people.
